Pool Chemical Safety Video

This pool chemical safety video, intended for homeowners and commercial pool managers, outlines the safe use of pool chemicals. Produced by The Chlorine Institute and the American Chemistry Council, the video includes health and safety messages from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


Additionally, CDC has developed two posters on chemical storage and handling. These posters are useful to homeowners, neighbors, and anyone who is responsible for chemical handling at a pool or spa whether at work or at play. The posters are available in both English and Spanish; a free copy can be downloaded from the CDC website:
